PokerStars.com to take 315 players to World Series

Pokerstars.com, a Costa Rican poker operator, announced it has delegated 315 amateur players for the World Series annual poker tournament to be held in Las-Vegas on Saturday, the onlinecasinonews.com website announced.

The company hopes to bring a new successful winner as it did in 2003 with Chris Moneymaker, who turned a $39 tournament entry into $2.5 million. After this win the number of entrants has increased over the last year and reached a 138 percent growth. This year the Series’ prize-pool is estimated at $20 million – a record-breaking trophy.

“The continued explosion in the popularity of poker has been phenomenal. Just eight years ago there weren’t 300 total players in this tournament, and now that number represents just PokerStars’ entries. With 15 percent of the total tournament players, PokerStars is a real contender to produce back-to-back World Champions,” said Lee Jones, Poker Room Manager for PokerStars.
